3.5 Top Panel Seven Segment Display
The Seven-Segment display consists of lighted segments to display numbers 0-9 plus a
dot. This shows the startup state of the ATA and on-going status of the EFTPOS
connection. Displays do not relate to calls on the POTS port or the V.24 serial port
(except for EFTPOS).
When starting up the ATA, the Seven-Segment display lights up and moves through a
sequence of patterns and numbers. The numbers displayed are steady when the call is
progressing and the configuration downloading normally on the D-channel during startup.
The display flashes a number continuously if call progress encounters an error condition
during startup.
Table 3 provides a list of “startup status codes” that the ATA displays in order of
sequence when the power is being applied, the call is being set up, and the configuration
is being downloaded by the Argent Network Management System (NMS).
Table 4 provides a list of “fault codes” displayed when a fault occurs.
